For the second year, the city of Menlo Park will hold a Downtown Family Fitness Extravaganza on Santa Cruz Avenue, featuring more than 30 fitness businesses, social groups and nonprofits, on Thursday, Aug. 20, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Santa Cruz Avenue will be closed for the event, from Doyle and Maloney streets west to Crane Street.

"It's a way to bring families and folks of all ages downtown," said Menlo Park Community Development Manager Jim Cogan, as well as to offer resources for living a healthy lifestyle.

The event's major co-sponsor, in addition to the city, is SBM Fitness.

Last year, nearly 800 people attended, Mr. Cogan said.

With a slogan of "Eat, Play, Live," the event will focus on connecting people with resources to improve physical, social and emotional wellbeing, according to the city's website.
